Question

Answer 1

\[28 \over 42 \]
\[9 \over 23\]
\[38 \over 64\]
\[9 \over 16\]

Answer 2

someone help i thought the other was my last but nope :(

Answer 3

Do you remember how to simplify fractions? We simplify ratios the same way.

A ratio is a fraction
\[\frac{ 18 }{ 32 }\]How do you simplify 18/32?

Divide both numbers by the same integer that goes into both numbers.

Divide both of these numbers by 2 and what do you get?

When you do similar problems in the future, be sure to check to see if you can simplify again. If you were to simplify 30/36 by dividing both numbers by 2, you'd get 15/18, which can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 3.

Answer 4

last one because when you divide 18/32=0.56 and when you divide 9/16 you get 0.56 @leledacutie_2000

Answer 5

The only problem with that trick, checking the decimal values, is that a tricky teacher might list TWO answers that have the correct value.

For example,

Simplify the ratio: 63 over 105

a) 21 over 35
b) 6 over 10
c) 6 over 11
d) 3 over 5

Yes, use your calculator and 63/105 is equal to 0.60 or six tenths

6 tenths, 6 over 10 is one of the answers.

But if you choose it, you will get the question wrong, because almost all math teachers tell you to find the BEST answer.

So, what is the best answer to this question?
